The Barcode flag (also EU Barcode) was designed in 2002 and updated in 2006 by Dutch architect Remment Koolhaas as a proposal for the flag of the European Union.[1][2] It was never adopted by the EU, but became well known later on after having been featured in multiple newspapers.[3]
In 2005, it became a symbol of the Austrian presidency of the Council of the European Union.[4]
It was criticized[by whom?] for its jarring appearance and resemblance to a barcode[5] (which lent the design its colloquial name), as well as for its intentional portrayal of the EU as nothing more than a sum of its member states.[6]
